ISC-EHB Bulletin: bulletin search

This page is used to search the ISC-EHB database to output a full event bulletin in either IASPEI Seismic Format (ISF) or as an XML file.

About the bulletin search

Use this search to output all available data within the ISC-EHB Bulletin. This includes access to prime (ISC-EHB) and secondary
(ISC) hypocentres, magnitude values, and phase data etc.

Output format

ISF Bulletin:

The IASPEI Seismic Format (ISF) is a fixed format bulletin. Further information about the format and links to the full
documentation can be found on the ISF page.

Search region

There are four possible methods for defining a search region (rectangular, circular, global, Flinn-Engdahl region). Leaving fields
blank, will automatically default to a global search. To interactively define a search region, using customised shapes, please use the
interactive search page. The defined region is used to check only the prime
hypocentre - secondary hypocentres within a search region will not influence the results.

Time period

澳门百乐门网址This is the start and end date to search for events. Only the prime hypocentre will be searched to match events
- i.e. origin times for secondary hypocentres will not influence the results.

Unknown depths

As some events have no determined depth, you may optionally choose to include events with unknown depths in the search.
This will return events which match any selected depth constraint you enter as well as events with no depth.

Unknown magnitudes

澳门百乐门网址As some events have no determined magnitude, you may optionally choose to include events with unknown magnitude
values in the search. This will return events which match any selected magnitude constraint you enter as well as events with no magnitude value.

Magnitude type

Limit events by magnitude for specific magnitude types. Due to the large number of magnitude types and the various
notation used, the selected type will search all magnitudes of that type. E.g. MB will match all body-wave magnitudes: mb, mB, MB, mb1mx, etc.

Magnitude author

Limit events by magnitude values determined by a specific author. ISC, NEIC, GCMT/HRVD and JMA amongst others are
considered reliable magnitude authors. The default uses 'Any', which will match any author that has a magnitude for both
prime and secondary hypocentres included in an event.

澳门百乐门网址
Please note: selecting either GCMT or HRVD, will search magnitudes from both of these agencies, as GCMT is a continuation of HRVD.

Defining phases

Defining phases are travel-times, which have been used in the computation of a hypocentre. You may optionally
choose to include events where the number of defining phases for the prime hypocentre is unknown. This only applies
if you have specified a minimum or maximum number of defining phases.

Only output Prime hypocentres

The ISC-EHB Bulletin provides the ISC solution as a secondary hypocentre for a particular event. You may
optionally limit the output to only show the prime (ISC-EHB) hypocentres.

Output phases

This includes phase data in the output. Phase data includes any arrival-times, amplitudes, station
magnitudes, flags for defining phases and travel-time residuals. The size of the output will be significantly increased by outputting phases.

Output magnitudes

澳门百乐门网址This includes network magnitude data in the output.

Output weblinks

This includes any available links for the event such as a link to the full Bulletin output, a link to
form a waveform request and any external links. There are also links for each agency to provide their full details.

Output headers

澳门百乐门网址This includes a header with a unique ID number and the geographic region for each event.
